The UMI Performance 240131-R is a direct bolt-in tubular K-member and lower A-arm kit engineered for maximum front-end performance. Shedding 25 lbs of front-end weight compared to the factory subframe, this kit is purpose-built to handle everything from daily street driving to drag strip launches and autocross competition—all without cutting or grinding.
The K-member is constructed from CNC-machined 3/16" thick mild steel mounting plates joined by a robust dual-tube lower section. The main center tube uses 1.500" x 0.120" seamless steel tubing, while additional cross braces utilize 1.250" x 0.120" seamless steel tubing for a rigid, lightweight structure. Factory locator pins are included for precise, hassle-free installation, and all mounting plates are CNC-machined for exact hole-to-hole accuracy. Lightening holes further reduce weight while tubular construction opens up valuable clearance for aftermarket exhaust routing.
The included lower A-arms feature TIG-welded tubular construction with pre-installed polyurethane bushings, adjustable steering stops, and a spring locating pocket that supports both stock and lowering springs. Rear A-arm mounts are gusseted to withstand extreme side loads, and the lower A-arm slots provide a 1/2" of adjustment for dialing in front-end geometry.
LSX Motor Mount Option: An optional LSX motor mount package allows fitment of any LSX engine to the UMI K-member. These fabricated mounts are compatible with factory rubber LS motor mounts, aftermarket polyurethane mounts, or UMI's own solid motor mounts (P/N 2323).
